infrastructure.

David
Maynard, President & Chief Technology
Officer

David
has been helping businesses connect with
customers on the Internet for over 20 years.
In the early 1990's, David worked with
Real/Time Communications to develop some of
the earliest commercial offerings of
network-based Internet access and
shared-server web hosting. In 1995, he founded
Flametree Corporation, a consulting business
focused on creating high performance,
highly-available Internet services. After
building the first ISP network in Austin with
connections to multiple backbone providers,
David was recruited by SMART Technologies
to lead the network and service development of
the SMARTNAP co-location and hosting facility.
SMARTNAP grew quickly into a highly successful
Internet hub, managing and housing
applications for companies such as Deja.com,
drkoop.com, pcOrder, Tivoli, Trilogy, and many
others. In 1998, SMARTNAP was successfully
sold to IXC Communications (since transitioned
to Level 3).

After
leaving IXC, David returned to Flametree where
he could better help companies develop the
network and system infrastructure needed to
deliver reliable services via the Internet. As
a consultant, he could help design and build
systems, but lacked the resources to run them
on an ongoing basis. Recognizing that most of
his clients were desperate for continuing
support, David helped found OutServ.net, Inc.
OutServ focuses on helping companies that rely
on the network-based delivery of information
and services as a essential element of their
business.

David
has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from
Virginia Tech and an M.S. in Electrical and
Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon
University.
